The house built on the Rock

“For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words… is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it…” 
Luke 6:47-48 AMP

Want to be able to conquer any feat, over-power any force of darkness, reap blessings and miracles in abundance, be healed of sickness and disease, and be freed from anger, resentment, and hurt?  If your answer is yes, and I hope it is, then grab hold and don’t let go of God.  Learn, listen, and follow His Word, and you too will become like the house built on the rock, which never collapses no matter what storms of life may come.

 

Building your temple from within.

“Yes, [you are building a temple of the Lord, but] it is He who shall build the [true temple of the Lord…]…” Zechariah 6:13

Although this verse refers to the rebuilding of the Lord’s temple in the Old Testament, I think there is another way we can look at it: Many of us work so hard at building our outer life, however, if we don’t have God, then we have no 'true' foundation to build upon.  So, when one gets to the top of where they want to be, and then crash, they lie there wondering where they went wrong.

To me, I think the majority of failures are because actions are undertaken without seeking God first.  Yes, it is important to work at obtaining our goals on the outside, but it is more important to seek God first within and let Him direct us as how to obtain them; let Him guide us and form us on the inside. 

Therefore, before taking on any project, obtaining any goal, or making a major life decision, make sure to seek God first; with Him all things are possible, obtainable, and solid. However, without Him, all things are still possible and obtainable, but very fragile and weak, and will soon collapse at the first sign of trouble!!

To the best of your ability

“The house I am building has to be the best, for God is the best…” #2 Chronicles 2:5 MSG

Whatever you’ve been given to do in life needs to be done to the absolute best of your abilities, because whatever you’re given to do comes from God and He is worthy of all our best efforts.  

Remember, God only gives you endeavors and directions that He knows you will excel in.  So what you may think is impossible, isn’t! God won't set you up to do it if you can't do it, and God won't set you up for it if you aren't the one with the abilities do the best job possible!
